This is a MUST for all children. It teaches that although we are different, we should accept and befriend each other. As I read this, I thought, "when we moved here to my neighborhood, there were a couple of monsters on our block, too, but we won them over." The great story and the characters are brought to life by wonderful illustrations from Luke Flowers, too. Every child should read this book and learn from it. I think adults could learn a lot from it, too. 5 of 5 stars!
ABOUT THE BOOK: Monster is excited to see what kind of creature will move into Vampire’s old house on the block. He even starts practicing his welcome growl for the new neighbor. But when the moving truck pulls up, it’s not a greedy goblin, an ogre, or a dastardly dragon that steps out. Instead, it’s something even more terrifying than Monster could have imagined! Monster quickly rallies the other neighbors to unite against the new guy on the block. But what if the new neighbor isn’t exactly as bad as Monster thinks? Join Monster as he confronts his fears in this charming and lighthearted look at what it means to accept others who are different from us
